Nanohybrid Fungicides New Frontiers in Plant Pathology Nanobiotechnology for Plant Protection Series

Nanohybrid Fungicides: New Frontiers in Plant Pathology addresses new nanohybrid fungicides and the opportunities that nanoagrochemicals can provide. Organized into two parts, this book addresses the types of nanohybrid fungicides and general applications, commercialization, and remediation. Furthermore, nanohybrid fungicides represent an exciting new frontier in plant pathology. Their ability to enhance the efficacy of conventional fungicides, boost plant defense mechanisms, and reduce environmental impact makes them a promising tool for sustainable disease management in agriculture. Further research and development are necessary to overcome the existing challenges and fully harness the potential of nanohybrid.

Plant scientists, plant pathologists, agriculture and food scientists, and professionals and students working in related fields will all benefit from this timely resource.
